600 gr ( 20 oz ) clams
600 gr ( 20 oz ) baby shrimp
500 gr ( 18 oz ) squid
600 gr ( 20 oz ) mussels
4 cloves garlic
30 gr ( 1 oz ) parsley
2 l ( 8 cups ) fish broth (

120 ml ( ½ cup ) white wine
80 gr ( 2 ½ oz ) extra

Wash the fish in cold
water; place the clams and mussels in a pan with a spoon of extra virgin olive
oil, one crashed garlic clove, some parsley, a few spoons of white wine over a
flame and cover. Cook until they open.
Clean the shrimps and use
the shells for making the broth which will be used to cook the rice.
Cut the squid into strips;
shell the clams and mussels and filter the remaining cooking water.
Pour half of the remaining oil
into a pot and brown the garlic; then
